PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that in a coin processor having a disk for discharging attached to a rotating shaft in a hole provided on a bottom of a hopper, if a large amount of coins is stored in the hopper, the stored coin group comes to a deadlock along with the discharge operation, forming a bridge to prevent the moving of the coins. SOLUTION: The coin processor has the disk for discharging attached to the rotating shaft in the hole provided at the bottom of the hopper, wherein the hopper has a rectangular planar form and the bottom is curved like a bowl, and the disk is provided which is attached to the rotating shaft, in the hole provided in the middle of the bottom, the hopper has a rib formed, toward the direction of discharging of the coins by the disk and the hole from the peripheral edge of the bottom so that the rib is tilted toward the rotating direction of the disk, and the hopper has a rib formed on a side opposite to the foregoing rib with the hole interposed therebetween and toward the hole from the peripheral edge similarly.
